I remember the first guy I was taking mine to cost me a turbo never did the oil line filter bang rite on 103,111 aswell as the infamous flash and dash the stock valve springs were at the point of nearly detonating the motor lol good times.

donating 20 to this site was the best money spent towards the car never had a problem with anyone of the recommended businesses from here aswell as advice from members here

Sludge in the filter most likely cost you your turbo, normally due to lack of servicing or incorrect oil used at some point of the cars life.

There is no set interval to clean the inline turbo oil filter and most people do not even know it exists.

Hi there, I have dealt with John in the past and had a few issues that weren't resolved. He just wanted to Tune the car and see me on my way. My initial issues were still there. Suggest you plan what you want from the car and plan for it. I have now dealt with Spiro from Autotech Engineering and he is not cheap ($770 per tune) but he resolved the issues. Depending on how much power you want to make - safely, you will need to spend some money first (Pazzo and Paulie2256 suggested) exhaust, injectors, fuel pump. Be careful wth the Auto though, as you start to make more power their life span decreases dramatically.

Tezza6 that price for a tune from Spiro is that for a couple slots in the xcal or for just 1 slot and 1 tune ?

I was running 12.8seconds with just a cooler and tune on street trim (zf box though on a BF) which was supposed to be around 265 to 270rwkw.

Another option for multiple tunes is a good electronic boost controller and about a 10psi actuator tuned to the higher side of the boost.
